In a Thursday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo stressed the importance of domestic chip production and said the country is on track to meet its end-of-decade goal. "My boss, President Biden, has been crystal clear on this topic, and I think there's no place to be reckless here or play politics with this," Raimondo said. The Biden Administration's CHIPS act allocated billions to encourage semiconductor companies to manufacture their products in the U.S., with recipients including Intel , Micron , Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor . "American businesses were in search of cheap capital and cheap labor and profits, so everything went overseas—China, Taiwan, etcetera," Raimondo said. "Except, we wake up now, and we find that whether it's chips or critical minerals or components, we're vulnerable.

According to estimates by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, India's services exports will likely hit $30.3 billion in June, compared with $27.8 billion in the same month last year.

Biden is returning to the White House after spending nearly a week at his personal residence recovering from Covid and for the first time since dropping his reelection bid. A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a bid by a tree-trimming company to block a U.S. Federal Trade Commission rule from taking effect that would ban agreements commonly signed by workers not to join their employers' rivals or launch competing businesses. Hodge, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, denied a bid by ATS Tree Services to block the rule pending the outcome of its lawsuit. About 30 million people, or 20% of U.S. workers, have signed noncompetes, according to the FTC.

Trump's stance could have major implications for Taiwan's dominance in semiconductor chip manufacturing should any potential conflict arise between Taiwan and China. And such a scenario would likely have a cataclysmic effect on the US economy should the global chip supply chain be disrupted. And Taiwan's microchip production is anchored by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, a global powerhouse. A recent report released by the Semiconductor Industry Association revealed that America's share of global chip manufacturing is set to increase to 14% by 2032. After Trump's latest remarks about Taiwan and the potential for tighter trade curbs on China, global chip stocks fell, with notable declines for Nvidia, TSMC, and Qualcomm, among others.
